To Be a Child

To Be a Child

It’s the toddler laughter of delightIt’s the excitement of seeing mom or dad walk in the doorIt’s the tears as soon as something doesn’t go their wayIt’s an innocence of the worldIt’s a sense of security that the world is safeIt’s jumping up to dance like no one is watchingIt’s running through the rain, drenched to the bone

When I look at you I delight in the childhood innocence I
seeI see a child who is freeA child who knows nothing but loveA child who still believes in not only fairies and magic but
in the good of our world

When I look at you I see a childWho with her smile can make any day betterI see a child who throws her head back in such simple child
delightI see a child who only knows happiness and a desire to make
those around her happyI see a child confident to be who she is, unscathed by the judgments of the world

To be a child
is innocence
is purity
is a moment gone too fast
